Definitions

  • the present subject matter relates generally to gas turbines and, more particularly, to a clearance control system for a gas turbine.
  • Gas turbines typically include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section.
  • the compressor section pressurizes air flowing into the turbine.
  • the pressurized air discharged from the compressor section flows into the combustion section, which is generally characterized by a plurality of combustors disposed in an annular array about the axis of the engine. Air entering each combustor is mixed with fuel and combusted. Hot gases of combustion flow from the combustion liner through a transition piece to the turbine section to drive the turbine and generate power.
  • the turbine section typically includes a turbine rotor having a plurality of rotor disks and a plurality of turbine buckets extending radially outwardly from and being coupled to each rotor disk for rotation therewith.
  • the turbine buckets are generally designed to capture and convert the kinetic energy of the hot gases of combustion flowing through the turbine section into usable rotational energy.
  • the turbine section may also include an inner turbine casing and an outer turbine casing surrounding the inner turbine casing.
  • the inner turbine casing may be configured to encase the turbine rotor in order to contain the hot gases of combination. In doing so, a circumferential tip clearance is typically defined between the rotating buckets of the turbine rotor and an inner surface of the inner turbine casing.
  • thermal expansion of the turbine rotor and the inner turbine casing which often causes variations in the tip clearances.
  • thermal expansion of the inner turbine casing may vary at different locations around its circumference (i.e., causing out-of-roundness of the casing).
  • inadvertent rubbing may occur between the tips of the rotating buckets and the inner turbine casing, which can lead to premature failure of the buckets.
  • the tip clearances between the buckets and the inner turbine casing may become too large, thereby decreasing the overall efficiency of the gas turbine.
  • many gas turbines include active clearance control systems designed to supply a cooling fluid to the inner turbine casing, thereby promoting thermal contraction of the inner turbine casing to avoid tip rubbing.
  • active clearance control systems typically require substantial pressure drops (regardless of whether the active control system is turned on or off) to facilitate cooling of the inner turbine casing.
  • conventional clearance control systems are not as effective when the pressure drop through the system is required to be relatively low (e.g., when a gas turbine is operating at extreme temperatures and loads).
  • conventional clearance control systems typically require multiple air sources and are incapable of achieving deterministic heat transfer boundary conditions when the active control system is both on and off.
  • the present invention is directed to a system adapted for clearance control for a gas turbine including an outer turbine casing, an inner turbine casing and a plenum defined between the inner and outer turbine casings.
  • the clearance control system may include an impingement box disposed within the plenum.
  • the impingement box may define a plurality of impingement holes.
  • the clearance control system may include a first conduit in flow communication with the interior of the impingement box and a second conduit in flow communication with the plenum at a location exterior to the impingement box.
  • the present invention is directed to a gas turbine.
  • the gas turbine may include an outer turbine casing and an inner turbine casing spaced apart from the outer turbine casing such that a plenum is defined between the inner and outer turbine casings.
  • the gas turbine may include an impingement box disposed between the inner and outer turbine casings.
  • the impingement box may define a plurality of impingement holes.

  • the present invention is directed to a method for controlling clearances within a gas turbine including an outer turbine casing and an inner turbine casing.
  • the method may generally include directing fluid from a pressurized fluid source through a first conduit such that the fluid flows into an impingement box disposed between the inner and outer turbine casings and re-directing the fluid through a second conduit in flow communication with a plenum defined between the inner and outer turbine casings such that the fluid flows around the exterior of the impingement box.
  • the present subject matter is directed to a clearance control system for a gas turbine.
  • the clearance control system may include an impingement box disposed between the inner and outer turbine casings of the gas turbine.
  • the clearance control system may be configured to supply fluid (e.g., air, steam and/or the like) into the impingement box.
  • the fluid supplied to the impingement box may then be directed through impingement holes defined in the box and thereafter impinge directly onto the outer surface of the inner turbine casing.
  • the clearance control system may be configured to supply fluid to a plenum defined between the inner and outer turbine casings.
  • the fluid supplied to the plenum may then be directed around the exterior of the impingement box and through a flow duct defined between the impingement box and the inner turbine casing.
  • the clearance control system may provide for an increase in gas turbine efficiency by facilitating tighter tip clearances between the bucket tips and the inner turbine casing. Specifically, by supplying a cooling fluid flow to the inner turbine casing, the thermal expansion of the inner turbine casing and/or its related components may be controlled, thereby controlling the tip clearances. Additionally, by controlling the flow of fluid relative to the inner turbine casing in both the ON and OFF operating states, the clearance control system may be utilized as both an active clearance control system (in the ON state) and a passive clearance control system (in the OFF state).
  • the clearance control system may allow for fluid to be supplied to the inner turbine casing with a very low pressure drop while still maintaining determinate heat transfer boundary conditions.
